I have been making pizza for over 30 years and I learned from an owner who was making pizza dough before I was born.

To help explain, I will try and summarize how our family has been making pizza dough since the beginning.

After all of your ingredients have mixed in the dough bowl for a total of 10 minutes. Turn off the dough mixer because your dough should be done. Now you are able to take the giant dough ball and cut it up.

Everybody has a different way of making their dough. Also, there is a lot of different ways people prepare their dough after the dough is made. For instance, some people let their dough sit out for hours before they refrigerate it. While some people refrigerate their dough first – before – they cut and need their dough.
